Four Curved Log Cabins

Thanksgiving seems to be all about the carbs. Sure, the turkey is the star of the meal, but it’s always surrounded by gravy, dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and pie. Here’s something yummy you can bring to the table that won’t make your blood sugar skyrocket.

Roasted Green Beans with Bacon

2 generous tablespoons olive oil

1 pound fresh green beans, the longer and thinner the better

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 clove fresh garlic, minced

4 thick slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 350F. Toss all ingredients in a large bowl, then spread evenly in an oven safe casserole dish. Bake for 20 minutes, stir and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until tender. Serve while still warm.
